The move had just been complete justa mere two days ago and yet Lance was still a bit startled with the move. Yeah he loved his parents a lot but it was just having to say goodbye to his oldest friends and his now ex-girlfried that was hard. The relationship he was in was great but he knew that long distance relationships wouldn't work at all. Having been told by his own mother that he should just get out and explore the town he just nodded before heading out the house. With himself taking his German Shepard Atticus with him, Lance just started by opening the door to his Dodge Ram ST-10 before heading out. Lances family wasn't that totally rich but since his father helped run a car dealership he was able to get this truck he wanted.
After what seemed like an half hour he found a nearby parking space by the beach. Looking around at the sunny day befoe him, Lance pulled his t-shirt off his body before replacing it with a white muscle shirt. Before long he was making sure that his dog Atticus was prepared for the jog around the beach. Locking and setting the car alarm on his vehicle, Lance proceeded to jog around the sandy beach with his dog. 'I guess this place ain't to bad' Lance thought to himself while jogging around and playing around with his dog. Just running from the shallows of the water and along the sand was just allowing him to feel relaxed and calm at the moment. Before long he was bound to come across company.

Jimmi was out today, as usual getting a run in before he started training down at the boxing club. He was wearing his Boxing Club t-shirt which was white with blue writing and underneath it read, 'captain.' he was also wearing his black jogging shorts and was running bare footed whilst holding his addidas trainers in his left hand. He enjoyed running on the sand it meaned that he had to work harder, as he was running he saw someone running in the opposite direction with his dog.

It was a pleasant moment to just wander around the sandy beaches with his dog while still getting used to his new surrounds. Of course Lance was just the guy to wander around feeling a bit small in this new town he was sure that he'd eventually meet a few new faces. Running around the sandy beacjes wasa great workout and even more when he played around with his dog. Petting Atticus he finally looked up to see that another was on his way to him so he figured a conversation and metting his first local would be nice. Jogging towards the guy Lance just nodded towrd the fella before speaking. "Hello" he greeted the other.

Jimmi stopped, this was the perfect excuss to have a break and meet a new person. The only person he really knew here was his girlfriend, who he cared for dearly but it would be great to make a new friend. 'Hi,' he said smiling, 'good day for a jog,' he said smiling with a touch of restlesness. 'I am Jimmi Conelly, by the way.' he said smiling towards the guy holding out a hand gesture. He looked at the the guy as he waited to see if he would shake his hand.

The jog was a nice break from moving boxes and hearing his parents talking about how great this place was. Lance also needed to get away from his pestering sister who was being the little bratty princess once again. Atticus of course was sniffing around the sandy beach which was amusing to see his dog act like that. Of course when one moves to a warmer climate from the colder climate of Canada. "Yeah it is a great day for a jog" Lance replied back to him. It was a pleasant day with a possibility to make a new friend. Seeing the hand extended, Lance reached his own hand out to shake the guys hand. "Pleased to meet you Jimmi. The names Lance Grayson" Lance said while finishing off the introduction between the two of them.

'nice to met you too, 'so you new around here, i have not seen you before. When you run on here everyday you get to know faces and things.' he said smiling. He looked at the sea and back to him, 'you do any sports?' he asked him since he seemed energetic for running on the beach.

Lance just nodded to him. Yeah I'm still new here. Just moved here about two days ago from Toronto. Been packing and unpacking these last few days so I decided to venture out to explore the town" Lance explained slightly to him. It wasa pleasant day to just get away from everything including his family. Lance turned his attention back t oJimmi while he spoke once more to him. "Yeah I enjoy all types of sports. I'm more into basketball than anything else" Lance said to him. In truth he'd still be playing high school ball if his father didn't place any pressure on him to exceed like he once did.

'cool Canada, i have always wanted to go there. I originally came from south west London, but moved here when i was five years old, been here ever since.' he looked at him, 'Basketball? Thats a cool sport, i have never played in professional games or anything, but it is enjoyable. I do boxing more than anything, it is great fun.' he said smiling slightly.

"Yeah it's a wonderful place to visit and live within Canada" Lance replied back to him. Yeah he was going to miss it back at his old home, but maybe a new start in life wouldn't be so bad or atleast he hoped it wasn't going to be bad. "Must be nice to just now that you've been in a nice place like this for so long" Lance said to Jimmi about the way that it muct of been nice to stay here as long as he did. "Yeah I love to just play around and enjoy the game. Used to play high school ball to before my father decided to get more involved with my routines" Lance said while shaking his head lightly about his own father. "Boxing sounds like fun and looks to be a great sport to enjoy" Lance added to finish off his own words.

'cool, my dad was pushy, and then the boxing club said they really liked my moves and wanted me to drop school and go into intense training, my dad said yeah, but my mom said no. So, i am at school for another year, the scouts our out and about, but i dont know whether to go to college or drop out and become a full time boxer.' he said thinking about it again. 'Yeah it is a really good sport, we have a squad at Fairfield High, you should join, you can either compete or just have fun.

"Don't you just hate the way some parents can get so pushy. I find it ridiculous the way parents try to push there children into the same field as themselves" Lance said to him while venting a bit of frustration for a bit. "Personally a solid education will help you someday in the future. Wither it's before or after boxing I'm sure a solid education will help propel you to get places in our future" Lance repluied back to him. All he was doing was voicing his own opinion about it since even he didn't know if he wanted to play college ball or find the right school to further his education. "Maybe I'll think about joining the team and helping the school with the skills I have" Lance said to him while taking in the consideration of playing high school ball once again.

"Well I think that's the way all teens think before they hit an age of maturity and realize that there parents are just pushing them to achieve some great things" Lance said to Jimmi with a smile. It was nice to really just talk with the first person he met since his arrival. "Wither the school has ateam or not I'll probably be in the gym just playing some hoops just for the fun of it" Lance replied back to him. It was just nice to think about playing the game of basketball oce again in front of the school.
